# Configure Service Information E-mail

You can configure MiCollab to automatically send Service Information e-mails to your system users. This e-mail feature provides users with communication settings information, such as:

- Login ID

- Password

- Passcode

- Phone Type and Number

The system sends an e-mail, whenever you

- select a user in the Users and Services Directory page and click the Send Service Info E-mail button

- create a new user (either from MiCollab USP or from the directory server if MiCollab IDS is enabled)

- create an MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing user, or

- reset a user's password or passcode.

If you select a user in the Users and Services Directory page and click the Send Service Info E-mail button, the system sends a user a Service Information E-mail that contains all of the user's service information.

If you create a new user, the system automatically sends an e-mail to the user that contains the user's login ID, password, and a link to the MiCollab Web Client .

If you reset a user's password in the Users and Services application, the system sends the user an e-mail that contains only the new password.

You can send the e-mail with a default or custom greeting message. With the exception of the custom greeting, the information can be sent in two languages.

## Conditions

- The Service Information e-mail feature is enabled by default.

- The Service Information e-mail is sent to the user's primary e-mail address that is entered in the User tab of Users and Services application.

- MiCollab sends a Service Information e-mail whenever any of the following methods are used to create a new user or reset a user's password:

  - Users and Services Add, Edit, or Quick Add User

  - Mitel Integrated Configuration Wizard

  - Users and Services Bulk Import

- The password is only included in the e-mail during the initial creation of a user or whenever the administrator resets the user’s password.

- If you create a user without an e-mail address, the system does not send a Service Information e-mail.

- If you disable the Service Information e-mail feature, all Service Information e-mails sent prior to the disabling of this feature are still delivered to the users.

- If you modify a user's password, a Service Information e-mail is sent with the new password. Note that an e-mail is not sent if a user modifies his or her own password.

- If you select a user in the USP directory and click the Send Service Info E-mail button, an e-mail is sent regardless of whether or not services are assigned to the user, providing the user is assigned an E-mail address.

- If you click the Send Service Info E-mail button in the USP directory page, all service information for the user is provided in a single e-mail. If you want the MiCollab Speech Auto Attendant Pilot/Access number numbers to be listed in the Service Information e-mail, you must enter these numbers in the Network Elements tab of the Users and Services application. The system takes the pilot/access numbers that you enter in the Network Elements tab and lists them in e-mail for the end users. If you do not enter the numbers in the Network Element tab, they will not be included in the e-mail.

- If MiCollab services are added to users who were originally created in a MiVoice Business system administration tool, a Service Information e-mail is not sent automatically, even if an e-mail address is provided for the user.

## Configure Service Information E-mails

1. Configure the MiCollab server e-mail settings.

2. Under Configuration, click MiCollab Settings.

See Mobile Client deployment e-mail in MiCollab Client Deployment help for information about configuring the MiCollab for Mobile welcome e-mail.

6. Enter a valid e-mail address for the Sender account. This address appears in the "From:" header of the e-mail. It is recommended that you enter an e-mail address that will not be monitored (for example: do_not_reply@example.com).

7. By default, the Append Do Not Reply Closing Message option is set to Enabled. This option includes a note at the end of the Welcome e-mail that instructs users not to reply to the e-mail. If you want to receive replies from users at the Sender e-mail account, set this option to Disabled.

8. You can include a default greeting or a custom greeting in the Service Information e-mail:

   To use a the default greeting message, click Default.

   or

   To create a custom message, click Custom and enter a greeting message up to 2000 characters in length. Note that it is recommended that you include a link to the MiCollab Web Client at https://<host name of MiCollab server>/portal in your custom message. If the e-mail is required in multiple languages, you must enter the greeting message in each required language.

   Note: If you select the Default option while you have text entered in the Custom Message box, your text will be cleared.
   Note: To include a hyperlink in a custom message, you must include a space before and after the hyperlink, even if the hyperlink is on a separate line. Otherwise, the link may not function for all users.

9. Specify the service information that you want included in the e-mail by clicking the associated check boxes. If a service is checked, but the user does not have that particular service, no information for that service is included in the welcome e-mail. By default, all service information is checked.

   - The check boxes are available for MiCollab Microsoft Outlook Plugin, Legacy MiVoice for Skype for Business Plugin, MiCollab for Microsoft Client, and End User Portal Link.

   - MiCollab for PC Client download link will be included in the deployment e-mail. For MiCollab Servers that are upgraded from an older version to 8.0 or higher, the administrator must load the default deployment text or add the link [####winpc####] manually in the custom deployment text.

   - If you select the Legacy MiCollab PC Client checkbox, MiCollab Desktop Client download link will be included in welcome e-mail. By default, this checkbox will be selected in case of an upgrade or a new installation.

   Note: Select the MiCollab Client Service checkbox, to enable the Legacy MiCollab PC Client option.
